IMPROVEMENT IN COFFEE-PCTS.

Specitication forming part of Letters Patent No. 176,249, dated April 18, 1876; application tiled April 9,1875.

To al( whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PETER SOURS, of Me tuchen, Middlesex county, and State ot' New Jersey, have invented Improvements in Cot'- 'ee-Pots, ot' which the following is a specification:

The object of my invention 'is to make an 'improved infusion or decoction ot' coi'ee by the use ofthe several devices illustrated in detail by the accompanying model and drawing in vertical section, and submitted as a part of this specification. l

A isv a hollow cylinder or biggin, soldered or otherwise attached to the cover b,`and has at its lower extremity a projecting iiange, forming a ledge, c, for the support' of a removable suspended tilter, d, of liannel or other suitable material, said filter being held in position for use by means ot' an elastic band, c, or its equivalent. F is a perforated disk acting as a water-distributor. This perforated disk F may be either composed of a'pe'rforated plate of sheet metal or formed ot' wire-gauze,

as may be desired. G is a removable conical tube, to the lower end of which is fastened a cup, IL, the two acting jointly as a conduit for the passage ot' waterv into the pot, and as a hydraulic seal or trap against the escape ot' ascending vapor and aroma. That portion of said hollow cylinder or biggiu between the perforated disk and its lower end when in an inverted position forms a receptacle or charger for the coffee before infiltration and leaching.

I claim as my invention- The cover b, biggin or cylinder A, perforated disk F, and annular flange c, over which to secure the filter d, in combination with the conical tube G and cup h, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

PETER SOURS.
